Important Points To Note:
- The calendar beginning in January 2023 prevents SHS 3 from taking a lengthy vacation. This will enable SHS 1 and SHS 2 to attend school as well.
- In order for SHS 3 students to attend class continuously from January 2023 to the end of September 2023, when the WASSCE concludes, the calendar will need to be adjusted.
- Finally, a break for teachers is guaranteed under the 2023 calendar.
The changes made to the academic were necessities due to the desire of every Ghanaian for a faster return to normalcy in the schooling system as the adjustments made for the short term can no longer serve the long term needs of indigenes of the country.
